225: This flying sword is great, how about calling it Discharge?

And just like that, time flew by, and a week quickly passed.

A week ago, regarding the events in Sakura Island's Wuquan City and Mold Island, the United States finally agreed to step in and help, sending Camilla to clean things up.

Although there were many monsters and Yao Beasts in Wuquan City and Mold Island, their Ranks were not high, making them a natural training ground for Camilla.

During this past week, Li Mu's diary did not stop.

However, because no major disturbances were created during this period, the contents of the diary were just some ordinary casual chats, nothing particularly substantial.

Originally, a week ago, after observing Wife Taro's Qi circulation method, Li Mu had been researching this very thing since his return, even directly simulating Qi Cultivation Techniques through the System.

Two Cultivation Techniques, one for cultivating martial Dao Qi and another for cultivating Magic Qi, were both concocted by Li Mu within this one week.

Moreover, the price of these two Cultivation Techniques in the System was not low, requiring a full two hundred points of deception.

Through Appraisal, it was learned that these two Cultivation Techniques could ultimately lead to entering the Dao through martial arts, eventually achieving Undergoing Tribulation and Immortal Ascension!

After creating these two Cultivation Techniques, Li Mu was not in a hurry to release them, choosing to wait.

It would not be too late to release these two Cultivation Techniques once a suitable opportunity was found.

After a week of almost secluded life, Li Mu finally emerged from his residence within the Cave Heaven Small World.

As soon as he appeared, Linglong and the little fox immediately scurried over.

Especially the little fox, who seemed extremely excited to see Li Mu come out of seclusion.

From the very beginning, this little fellow was quite wary of Li Mu, but ever since it discovered that it could receive a Top-Grade Spirit Stone every day from Li Mu, its mentality changed.

There was no other way; the handsome master gave too much!

It only needed to sacrifice a little charm each day, letting its master pet and stroke its fur, to receive such benefits—it was simply too worthwhile!

Now that Li Mu had been in seclusion for a week, its Spirit Stones had just run out.

Seeing Li Mu appear at this moment, it immediately ran even faster than Linglong, pouncing into Li Mu's arms with a "whoosh" and happily whimpering.

It looked as if it was begging for a hug and to be held up high.

Linglong, standing by, was dumbfounded!

Is this my little brother?

It's actually competing with this Dragon for affection?

It has no awareness of being a little brother at all!

Then, it extended a paw and hooked the little fox out of Li Mu's arms.

And threw it...

The little fox drew a beautiful arc in the air, then splashed into the river with a "plop."

Linglong immediately shrunk her size, transforming into a mini-Dragon, and then happily snuggled into Li Mu's arms.

Seeing the two little ones competing for affection, Li Mu was amused.

He lightly flicked Linglong's head, scolding with a laugh: "You're the big sister, you should give in to the little fox, understand?"

Linglong shook her head, snuggling in and continuing to murmur.

This Linglong knows, but will do it again next time!

Master can only spoil me, all other little bitches get out of the way...

Linglong secretly glanced at the river surface, her eyes full of smugness.

Hmph hmph!

Although this Linglong usually seems not very smart, she's very cunning in this regard!

Huh?

Linglong froze...

Did I just think something wrong?

Never mind, I won't think about it anymore!

Then, she shifted into a more comfortable position in Li Mu's arms and continued to lie there.

The little fox, soaking wet, walked over from a distance and came to Li Mu's feet, beginning to whimper its complaints.

Li Mu smiled and put Linglong down.

The next second, the unyielding little fox actively started bickering with Linglong, rolling around on the ground intertwined.

However, Li Mu could tell that neither of the little ones was serious; they were just playing around.

So, he didn't stop them and let them be.

Soon, the two little ones, tumbling and wrestling, moved closer and closer to the riverbank.

Li Mu took out ten Top-Grade Spirit Stones from his Storage Pouch and placed them on the stone table in the pavilion.

Then he called out to the two little ones: "I've put the Spirit Stones here. When you're done playing, come over and divide them."

"I still have some things to do, so I'll be heading out first..."

With that said, Li Mu's figure disappeared from the Cave Heaven Small World.

And Linglong, who had been wrestling, immediately stopped her movements when she saw Li Mu disappear.

The little fox still wanted to pursue, but Linglong pressed it onto the ground with a paw.

The little fox struggled with its limbs for a while, completely ineffective, as Linglong's paw remained unmoving.

Finally, it could only let out pitiful whimpers of surrender...

Linglong released her paw, then happily ran towards the pavilion, and the little fox quickly followed.

At this moment, Linglong had not yet reverted to her original size. After swiftly entering the pavilion, she saw that the little fox hadn't caught up, and feeling smug, she picked up a Spirit Stone and vanished.

When the little fox arrived at the pavilion, it looked at the nine remaining Spirit Stones on the stone table and fell into deep thought.

Why did Big Sis run just now?

It seems she only took one Spirit Stone?

Why does she still look like she got a bargain?

The fox just can't figure it out!

So...

The little fox quietly took the nine Top-Grade Spirit Stones, tearfully making a huge profit of four Top-Grade Spirit Stones from Linglong!

...

Meanwhile, in the direction of the capital.

Xiang Wenyan excitedly ran into the training ground, holding a Flying Sword.

Upon seeing the people training inside, she said, "Lan Kun, your Flying Sword is forged!"

"It has lightning properties, but due to Material issues, it's only a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact."

Xiang Wenyan had already been recruited into the Special Affairs Handling Bureau a week ago and was now an Artifact Refiner for the Special Affairs Handling Bureau.

Lan Kun, who was testing his lightning energy, immediately stopped what he was doing when he heard Xiang Wenyan's words. He rushed over to Xiang Wenyan, his face beaming with joy.

"It's fine, it's fine. A lower Rank is no problem at all."

Lan Kun said, wiping his hands on himself, and excitedly added, "Let me see it..."

Seeing Lan Kun so excited, Xiang Wenyan also smiled.

She then handed the Flying Sword to Lan Kun.

The Flying Sword was entirely blue, with faint, subtle electric arcs flickering across its surface, emitting a sizzling sound.

When Lan Kun took the Flying Sword in his hand and channeled lightning into it, the entire Flying Sword instantly burst forth with brilliant lightning, countless thumb-thick electric arcs flashing out, making crackling sounds.

"Good! I am truly satisfied with this sword!"

Lan Kun rubbed the sword body, looking at Xiang Wenyan gratefully: "Thanks! Next time we go on a training expedition, just tell me what you need, and I'll help you find it."

Hearing Lan Kun's words, Xiang Wenyan was also very happy.

After all, her forged item had been recognized, so she was naturally very pleased.

Then she smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let's give this Flying Sword a resounding name."

"A name, huh..."

Lan Kun pondered for a moment, then said, "How about 'Discharge'?"

The next second, the electric light that had been flickering on the Flying Sword in his hand instantly dissipated...

Lan Kun: ???
